Biofilm distribution helps pinpoint areas where microplastics will accumulate by David L. Chandler, Massachusetts Institute of Technology edited by Sadie Harley, reviewed by Robert Egan Editors' notes ...

Biofilms articles from across Nature Portfolio Biofilms are communities of microorganisms that attach to each other and to surfaces, for example by bacterial adherence. Biofilms consist of both ...

Then, they introduced the same charged nanoplastics. The positively charged particles still caused stress — and enhanced Shiga-like toxin production — in biofilm-bound E. coli.

Abstract The recent trend in the early admittance to long-term care facilities (LTCFs) of severely injured patients transferred from general hospitals has given a new dynamic to the incidence of ...

The unusual resistance of NB to extreme ambient changes has been attributed to their mineral coating of carbonate apatite [9, 32] – the same mineral found in the bones and teeth of vertebrates.

Farmland drainages are a hotspot for agricultural phosphorus (P) pollution. Periphytic biofilms (PBs) are easy to grow on waterlogged solid surfaces in farmland ecosystems, such as paddy soils and ...

Early detection of pollutants in water discharge is an integral part of environmental monitoring. Electroactive biofilm (EAB)-enabled, microbial fuel cell (MFC)-based biosensors facilitate ...

The biofilm of E. faecalis was significantly reduced by EGCG + FOSFO at 10x FIC (-6.2 log), followed by CHX at 10× MIC (-5.8 log) and EGCG at 10× MIC (-4.8 log), compared to the control. A. israelii ...

For minimal biofilm eradication concentration (MBEC) and the total number of viable cells, the biofilms were washed twice with sterile PBS, and then vigorously scraped and transferred to a conical ...
